Case Study: PRESTO A30 Process system

Cooling a QVF 6 l reactor from +20 °C to 0 °C with a PRESTO A30 Process system

Objective

This case study tests the cooling capacity of the JULABO PRESTO A30 Process system with a 6 l glass reactor. The PRESTO A30 is connected to the reactor via two 2 m long metal hoses. The PRESTO A30 Process system has been programmed to cool down from +20 °C to 0 °C.
